When he was gifted an original spare body for the GT40 that was owned and raced in South Africa, John Botha designed and built a replica rolling chassis for the body. This was as close as possible to GT40 # P/1024 specification, the car he had worked on for a number of years. This was a time when GT40 replicas were mainly kit cars and accurate builds were rare. He founded GT40 Developments and over a decade, built 34 GT40 replicas, almost all of which are owned overseas.

This GT40 is chassis #19 which was built in 1998 and finally commissioned as a Road Car in 2004. The car has been designed, built and owned by engineers. The body is by Tornado in the UK, it has fully adjustable suspension and an Edelbrock performance enhanced Ford 302 engine with Holley Twin Barrel downdraught carburettor. Power to the rear wheels is through an Audi Transmission and GILOTwin Plate Button Clutch (recently overhauled).

This GT40 has been serviced regularly. It has been driven to and from display at classic car shows and Cars@Coffee events. It's fitted with a new set of tyres and new rear window. It comes complete with air conditioning and rear view camera to assist with maneuvering.

This GT40 is a car that can be enjoyed on Track Days, at Shows and Weekend Driveouts. It's one of just a few early replica GT40's built close to original specification which made them eligible for historic racing events.
